Here's what our previous athletes say...

Great things to talk about Running with Us Camp

1.- After the two years pandemic, I was determined to experience a running camp and did the research that led to “Running with Us” camp. They make easy and friendly to get onboard and helpful while getting everything organize.

2.- My goal for this camp was to get insights about my training and trying to find weaknesses and learn how to tackle them while improving my training patterns. And that was achieve thanks to the brilliant coaches and their expertise. By chatting with them I could learn about how to improve those patterns, covering a wide aspect of running, including recovering, Strength & Conditioning, physiology, Core and tight all together with the daily running and sessions throughout the camp.

3.- We all know that runners do not like Stretching, mobility and anything that is not running, however this camp offers workshops about mobility, S&C, drills, plyometrics and core. Those turned out to be especially useful and helped me to start adding them on my routine a stop trying to avoid them.

4.- The camp also offers good talks given by the coaches about Injury Prevention, Sport Psychology, Sports Physiology which helped me understand and learn the various aspects of training as an athlete and how the impact my improvement.

5.- And of course the bread and butter of all runners, every day training was well organised. Running through the beautiful Albufeira in Algarve where you can run around the stunning Orange Groves or through the beach or even around the cliffs. Sessions were also specific to each runner’s goal, no matter the distance or the race type for which they are preparing. Overall, the set up in the Algarve is gorgeous.

6.- Finally.… the lads on the camp were friendly and helpful and had a great craic with them. I am looking forward to coming back next year for another great camp!

Special shout out to the coaches: @Nick, @Parky, @Will and @Dan for all the hints and helpful tips to improve my training!!!!!

'Great running holiday, and I would recommend it for all ages and abilities.  The scenery is great for running (orange groves & along the clifftop), and the weather in March is ideal for running.  The coaches are very helpful, and it was great to meet and train with lots of other keen runners' - Trevor, March 2019 and March 2020   

​

I had a fantastic week. The camp was attended by a wide range of abilities, from charity runners such as myself, up to internationally competing athletes, yet the camp caters for all with coaches available to talk about all aspects of training from strength and conditioning regimes to nutrition. Everyone was friendly and the hotel is only a five minute walk from the beach to watch the gorgeous sunset. Would definitely recommend this running holiday! 😊 - Jon, March 2020

“The Running with Us Algarve trip always helps me to re-focus on training during my peak phase of marathon prep; It’s the perfect mix between quality sessions and plenty of recovery time during the day. 

The hotel is in a beautiful location, with the choice of quiet roads, track, trail and beach running all on the doorstep.

It’s always a really friendly, social group of runners, making the evening meals and recovery time good fun.

Away from the distractions of busy work life, I can check in on all aspects training, including nutrition and conditioning, meaning I always leave feeling refreshed and with a renewed confidence for upcoming races.

This year I was able to get in 10 days of quality marathon prep and my husband enjoyed coming along to focus on getting fitter for 10k. We both look forward to coming back next year! “ - Naomi March 2019 and 2020

I was very lucky to be able to take part in the Runningwithus training camp in Portugal just before the UK went into lockdown. The camp was a really brilliant experience. I was really nervous going - I suffer from a bit of anxiety and after a string of injuries wasn’t exactly race fit. That didn’t matter - Siobhan, Nick and the team made sure that I was looked after and I was encouraged to take part. Going into the camp I’d struggled with 5K - while I was there I did my first 10K in a year and it has shown me I’m 100% capable of more than I thought I was. Two months post camp and I’m the fittest I’ve been in about two years - I’m consistent with my training and I can see that I’m making small gains all the time. I really hope that I’ll be able to come back to the 2021 training camp - Melanie, March 2020
